Can I go underway with it on? Yes, up to 45 mph. Just be sure that it does not block your line of sight in all directions.Â
How heavy is Sebba shade? Total weight of the shade, straps, and backpack = 17 lbs (7.7 kg). The 6x9 is even lighter.
How big is the 8x12 backpack? 24” tall by 14” wide when filled with Sebba Shade and straps.
How big is the 6x9 cinch bag?  24” tall by 14” wide when filled with Sebba Shade and straps.
Does the entire shade inflate? No, just the perimeter and the two struts across the middle. This allows for quick inflation to 6.0-8.0 PSI, creating high pressure, high strength tubes and low-weight manueverabi8lity.Â
Can it be used on a boat that doesn’t have a T-top, arch, or bimini?  No. It needs something to rest on.
How does it attach to the boat?  The 8x12 has stainless steel carabiner clips and buckle straps of various lengths to attach to just about anything on a boat. The 6x9 uses a simpler technology with nylon "pigtail" anchor points and cords (no metal clips required for the 6x9).
Does it float? Yes, but it is not meant to be used as a floaty/flotation device.
How long does it take to inflate?  About two minutes with a double action hand pump or an electric pump. That's right, a hand pump is just as fast as an electric pump.
Does a pump come with the Sebba Shade? No, just like the pumps used for kiteboarding, stand up paddle boards (SUP), and blow up kayaks, they are sold separately. In fact, those same pumps can also be used with Sebba Shade with the universal pump valve adapter.
What pressure is required for inflation? Set your electric pump to 6.0 - 8.0 PSI MAXIMUM. For comparison, Stand Up Paddleboards are typically inflated to 12-15 PSI (and take much longer to inflate).Â
What kind of pump do you recommend? There are dozens of choices ranging from $40 to $140. Search (google, amazon, etc.) for "kiteboarding pump or “stand up paddleboard pump” and choose one.
Can you do custom logos and print and colors? Not at this time, but in the near future.
Can I use it on windy days? With care and correct handling, yes. See instruction manual provided with your purchase.
Can I return it if I don’t like it? Yes. If for any reason you are not satisfied with Sebba Shade, return it undamaged within 30 days for a full refund.
